There were dozens of different classes, from basic mana manipulation to advanced forest survival guides. The boy was surprised by the number of courses available.
"We don’t have attendance or failure, only some classes have prerequisites. Today is reserved for choosing your classes and leaders. Other than that, they are free." With the last sentence, the dean flew out of the stadium, leaving all the teenagers alone.
What followed was a confusion of voices and challenges being thrown at the same time. Only a few rooms didn’t have their leaders being challenged, one of them was Kayden’s.
The first thing Kayden did was... give up the leader position.
"Kayden!?" Linus saw the message in the class’s private chat and couldn’t understand the reason for it.
"My subjects won’t be able to participate in this year’s test, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to maintain the position of leader when they will likely be expelled." His sentence earned him a lot of points with the fifteen.
Then, the leader position was passed on to another person who performed well in the tests and, in this case, it was Linus. The problem was that this time the boy started receiving several challenges.
The application itself selected the place and time for the competitors so that it was not disadvantageous for either of them. Unfortunately for Linus, he would have to face several battles today.
Kayden dismissed his subjects and went with his friend to the academy where the battles would take place. While his friend was fighting, he was doing his class worksheet. Some that caught Kayden’s attention were "Introduction to Lightning", "Battle with Katanas", "general battles", "body training", "unarmed combat" and "Initial breathing techniques".
Apart from these, the boy also chose some classes focused on useful knowledge, such as "basic magical beasts", "plants and Herbs: how to recognize their Value" and "How to identify areas with mana veins?".
His focus was to acquire as much knowledge as possible in a short time. Therefore, his classes started at 7 am and ended only at 5 pm. Kayden didn’t even set a lunchtime.
The boy could have taught until nine o’clock at night, but he chose to set aside time to cultivate quietly. Considering this division, he would have around 6 or 7 hours free during the night, leaving 7 hours of sleep.
It wasn’t exactly ideal, but Kayden could live with this stressful routine. Even more so since the boy practically created a guillotine in his head. His protection would only last 20 years, after which the radical wing of the nobility would try to deal with him.

A few hours later, Linus was defeated by another noble. His opponent used a bow and arrow to fight and focused entirely on deadly attacks. This prevented Linus from being able to cast any of his spells well.
Linus, Isaac, and Kayden went to the college food building. They had both been there before, but for Kayden it was new. The building was a multi-story structure, each with a different type of food.
Kayden was simply amazed. There were at least ten floors, each easily accommodating a few thousand people. It was an immense structure to support so many people.
The two nobles took Kayden to a floor where they sold foods similar to the Eastern culture of Kayden’s old life. The price was one merit point on any of the floors.
The building was a large circle with elevators at the ends. Inside the floors, there were several round tables of different sizes. Ordering food and consulting the menu was done via the college’s app.
Kayden ordered an insane amount of dishes, leaving his two friends amazed. The worst part was that when it arrived, he ate it insanely quickly and even ordered more dishes. The food arrived almost instantly, floating above them and landing gently on the table.
"Hello, Kayden." A female voice surprised the three. The owner of the voice sat at the four-seater table. She was a red-haired girl with stunning beauty. Her skin felt like milk and appeared soft to the touch. "Can we talk more intimately?" A smile appeared on his lips.
"No, please leave the table." Kayden immediately understood what it was about. He was already expecting this type of paparazzi, whether he liked it or not, he was a great catch at that moment, a rich young man with a bright future ahead of him.
"You know who I am?" The girl’s voice became shrill.
"I don’t care, leave." Kayden’s tone was cold and he even let some of his killing intent escape. This time, the girl didn’t say anything and just walked away from the table.
"That was weird," Linus was the first to comment.
"Indeed," Isaac agreed.
"Without a doubt," Kayden agreed as well. He needed to do something about this before it became unbearable.
********
Kayden’s first class of the day was "general combat." This class was taught by a former army commander and this was clear from his presentation in the first minute of class.
"Hello, class. My name is Kanye Kien and I am a former army commander. Due to an injury to my core, I am retired, but I should still be able to teach you something." His tone was friendly and matched his appearance as a kind old man. "Pair up and fight in the different classroom bubbles."
Saying "classroom" was a little strange considering they were in a huge open plain. Kayden had to use GPS to find this meeting point. His class had approximately 50 students.
The same subject could be taught by other teachers at different times, which is why Kayden believed that his class had few students. Most didn’t want to wake up early and spend 3 hours killing themselves.
Over the next few hours, the boy also discovered that his teacher was an executioner. The pairs had to keep fighting without stopping and he would give specific tips to each person.
It looked like the man had dozens of eyes. Not only that, but he was also a healer, so no matter how much damage someone suffered, they had to keep fighting without stopping.
For Kayden, this was great. In just 3 hours, he corrected several useless movements or small things that he couldn’t see. Not only that, he was able to face other people using all his strength.
Most managed to do well against Kayden and their fights were balanced, as long as the boy didn’t use his path. All of his opponents were at the ninth realm or the peak of the ninth realm.
The boy also did not suffer any kind of persecution or anything like that because of his performance in the academy test. The teacher treated him like any other student, the difference was that he called Kayden "marquis", a sign of respect for the nobility.
